Do you feel obligated to finish all books you start reading?

** this is my 124th post and thanks to wordpress for suggesting this topic.

Every time i read a book, either it’s a novel, a short story or just any other book about anything, i try and make a point that ‘i’ll finish reading this one’ — especially when i’m very interested on the topic that the book is written about.

when i read a book, i make believe that i’m the protagonist of the story and let my imagination do the rest!

Some of the topics that i’m looking forward in reading a book are about (most importantly) love, death, friendship, family, moral lessons that i’ll get, mysteries, humor and positivity.

i also read books that are in series or in sequels. I love reading those that are written in novels and then were made into film. I like to see what changes were made or if they did exactly what is written in the novel.

Examples of the books that i have finished reading are:

* The twilight Saga novels written by Stephenie Meyer — Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. I also got to read the Midnight Sun that had been leaked on the internet before.

* A Series of Unfortunate Events written by Lemony Snicket (Bad Beginning to The End)

* Nicholas Sparks’ The Last Song and Dear John

* The Queen of Babble Series by Meg Cabot

* Sophie Kinsella’s Twenties Girl and Can You Keep A Secret?

* Paulo Coelho’s the Alchemist

* Ann Martin’s The Babysitter’s Club books.

* Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes

* Jeff Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Reading is learning. Whatever lesson we may get on what we read, we should know what values to keep and what to just leave on those pages.
